This panel, part of the week-long Perforations Festival New York, offers insight into practices and ideas of contemporary drama, dance, and performance arts in Southeastern Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Macedonia). The established and emerging artists taking part in the festival are active in the independent art scenes of their respective countries and regularly cross borders—both those between states and those between different art forms; they will be joined by academics and other experts on the region for this close look at the state of contemporary art in the Balkans today.
Panelists for the event include Zvonko Dobrovic, producer and artistic director of Perforations and Queer Zagreb festivals in Croatia; Ivica Buljan, one of the region’s most prolific and recognized theater directors; Igor Josifov, body artist from Macedonia; Petra Kovačić, performance installation artist; and Fritzie Brown, director of ArtsLink international exchange program. The panel will be moderated by Vesna Kesic, Croatian journalist, activist, and researcher.
